Current Role: Assistant Editor at 'Jeweller', the leading magazine and digital publication for the Australian jewellery industry.
**
I began my career as a sub at FAMOUS (Sydney, Australia) in 2010. Our close-knit and talented team created a fun, aspirational and conversational weekly magazine focused on celebrity news, fashion and beauty. 'FAMOUS' inspired my passion for lifestyle journalism - a passion that carried me to London, where I began working for 'OK!' in 2014 as a senior sub and staff writer. I branched out into travel writing and had the opportunity to experience incredible destinations across Europe and the Caribbean, as diverse as Croatia, Sweden, and Tobago. After more than four years in London, I felt the call of home and am now based in Melbourne, where I work full-time at 'Jeweller' honing my skills in business journalism, B2B communication, news reporting, and long-form features. I am also a contributing writer for fashion and lifestyle site TheTrendSpotter.net.
